What an awesome giveaway...good luck to all that enter. I love to make special gifts for my clients just to make their day...especially if I know they have had a rough day or week...love to make people smile...

i like giving a little extra to those who go the extra mile. its great because they dont expect it and is an easy way for me to say 'thanks'. for example, i won some blinds and had issues trying to get the right ones. took me weeks. i am sending the girl a gift card to say thanks!

At least twice a month I pay for the person behind me in the Starbucks drive thru line and then when I go the next time the worker will tell me how long it kept going for. I started the domino effect and each car kept paying for the one behind it. It went 8 people one of the girls told me she had counted ;))

This past Christmas I was at the mall with my sister. We were at a store called Hot Topic and the lines were so long and there was this little boy that wanted to buy something and the cashier register told him to go to the end of the line. My sister felt bad and told him to stand right next to me, so when I w as done paying for my items I told the cashier to ring him up. He was short a dollar and some change so I put in the rest of the money he needed and he was so excited because the gift he was buying was for his little sister and he was going to go surprise her. It felt so good to be able to help the little boy out even if it was for a dollar or so. His expression was priceless.

I started a nonprofit organization to help children in Jamaica...I visit there a lot and the country has given me lots of joys, so I started JamReads International, Inc.to give back to the children that bring a smile to my face every time I visit!

One that I had done for me was... I had my 1 year old a grocery cart full of grocery's and an older gental men helped me put them in to my vehicle :) I also had sent out a coupon envie worth over 100$ to help a fellow person out that I dont know :)

I do my best to help others with whatever I can... financially, emotionally or even being there for them! I love people and I know that many were there when I needed them! can't remember as I follow "do & foget.. Karma will come back" last thing I remember is taking my colleague to the ER as she's a foreigner and has nobody spent 3 hours there! thank you soo much & happy VDay everybody :)

Ive been giving a wonderful christmas by wonderful friends for my children and I and ever since I have given away things to random people and even on my business page..I love giving! best feeling ever! It would be awesome to win too.my bday is on the 9th :) sugarco79@yahoo.com

I donated clothes for 4 children, ages 11-16, who had been taken from their mother right before Thanksgiving. I also bought them each 4 gifts for Christmas. A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a pregnant rescue dog from Columbus and drove her to a foster home in Findlay. Tomorrow I am going to Columbus to help my Dad strip wallpaper. I also have several coupons for a local cupcake store, which I am going to use to purchase mini cupcakes and deliver them to random places, like the senior center and my son's school. I saw a story on the news just last night about a man who is performing at least one act of kindness every day for a year, and even more remarkable, the reporter said, is that he doesn't have a lot of money! Well, my husband was laid off from his job in October, and we still manage to help when we can. I love to help others and I love to see other people helping others! You don't have to be rich to make a difference!

I'm not sure if the things I do are necessarily random, but more in the spirit of paying it forward. I grew up in a house with more kids than resources. I have a relationship with a resource center for disadvantaged families. I do what I can to donate items not only from my family, but also recruit friends to donate things as well. I've been lucky enough to be able to give everything from toiletries, books, car seats, high chairs and maternity clothes & baby food. Many of these families fall between the cracks and its such a great feeling to know that maybe I can make a difference.

I have been extremely blessed to have true angels in my life and I aspire to be even 10% of what they ar! I have been known to literally give the shirt off my back to others if they need it. The less I have, the more I give because I believe I am truly blessed. My Faith is strong and I believe God will provide for me and if I can help others, maybe my example will inspire others to give generously!!

This is amazing :) I donated all of winter sleepers and clothing that my daughter can't wear so that NB babies can go home in warm clothes and clothing that fits, I give all diapers to moms who cant afford them =)

A guy at work had come through my line ( I work at WalMart) and his card didn't have enough money to buy lunch. I put $5 on a giftcard and gave it to him before I went on my break. I said that I didn't want to see him leave without knowing he had gotten SOMETHING to eat.

this is a great giveaway.. i love to bake wish my cookies looked like yours:) ok so i like to donate all my families clothes every year that we dont use anymore and are still nice to families that need them.. toys also.. it is really an amazing feeling when they tell you a million times thank you so much.. i really wish that everyone thought like this:) <3

i love this giveaway...so much fun stuff!! i recently went and stayed with a friend of mine who was just put on bed rest and her husband is in the navy and away on a mini tour. i also always give people who are behind me in line any extra coupons that i might have that i cant use in that transaction:) happy valentine's day!!~sarah

I offered my time today to do a monthly e-newsletters for a local non-profit, Big Family of Michigan, who helps the foster, orphaned and displaced children in Michigan. I love having the opportunity to give back and I do it as often as I can.

My boss gave me an orchid for the holidays. I have a black thumb for sure. I didn't want the beautiful flower to waste away in my care so I gave it to one of my co-workers who LOVES flowers, especially orchids. She was so thrilled.

About Me

I'm married to my just-out-of-high-school sweetheart, and I'm momma to 2 awesome boys! Back in 2010, I very much needed a creative outlet, something that would allow me to de-stress and relax. Someone on a message board I frequent always had pics of beautiful decorated sugar cookies, and I desperately wanted to create something that gorgeous! She finally posted the how-to (through Sweetopia!), and I've been hooked ever since.
